About this episode

As AI labs shift to usage-based consumption pricing, the math on per-seat licensing is getting harder to defend. In this episode, Shana Meyers, Director of Global Business Solutions and Distinguished Technologist at Insight, breaks down how Insight built its Enterprise AI Hub — a platform that gives every employee access to multiple AI models through API-based token consumption, at roughly one-tenth the cost of individual licenses. You'll hear how a rejected — but successful — pilot became the foundation for a company-wide platform, why curated data beats more data every time, and how solution development and project management is evolving with greater collaboration and front-line leadership.
